Dismissing analytics bc other conferences are "overrated" makes a lot of sense. This is smart.I never pay attention to college football analytics, as they are inherently flawed. Because certain programs (Notre Dame for example) and conferences (Big10) have been overrated for decades because of history and nostalgia, comparing performances in different conferences cannot be boiled down to analytics only.
Analytics are just a piece to the puzzle. Some things are useful some are not.
The SEC is the best conference but that's not the question at hand. Even if it is the best overall it doesn't mean Fields didn't face better defenses than the rest of the class. This isn't hard to grasp.Most will agree that the SEC is on a different level conference-wise. I also feel like the SEC West is a different level than the SEC East. SEC West had every one of its teams except LSU ranked at some point in this season. The Alabama 2020 schedule was historically difficult. All SEC games in the SEC West, and faced the best the East had to offer as well. Comparing 11-0 in the SEC last year to 6-0 in the Big10 for Fields is the definition of apples and oranges.
Also don't people know how to debate or put forth a good argument anymore? The fact that you watched every snap on broadcast means very little with respect. Essentially that's all I'm seeing.
